Treasury to use data on racial, ethnic disparities to shape tax laws under ‘equity’ plan

Based on U.S. demographic data, the Treasury Department will “look at where there is unfairness in the tax code,” said former Trump DOJ official Katie Sullivan.

Anew Treasury Department racial “equity” plan reveals the department’s intention to obtain and analyze data reflecting the disparate impact of the tax code on “different race and ethnic groups” to help design and implement tax laws on the basis of race, warns a former Trump administration Justice Department official.

“The IRS has always been colorblind, for good reason,” former Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Office of Justice Programs Katie Sullivan told the John Solomon Reports podcast on Monday’s episode. “We see what happens when they start to operate in a more biased fashion, like they did against conservatives in 2013.”

Sullivan was referring to the Lois Lerner scandal, when the IRS targeted conservative nonprofits for intrusive scrutiny.

Treasury’s Equity Action Plan asserts that the COVID-19 pandemic revealed health and economic inequities affecting communities of color.

“The COVID-19 pandemic exposed and amplified long-standing disparities in health and economic outcomes, causing the pandemic to disproportionately affect people of color and members of underserved communities,” according to the document.
